Extensive reading – text in glottodidactic perspective

Anna Seretny Logo ORCID

Abstract

Graded readers are designed for students whose level of language proficiency is not sufficient to enable them to read authentic texts. Such materials are either written especially for glottodidactic purposes or they are created by simplifying works of literature. Such simplifying can take three different forms. The first one is called adaptation, the second can be described as simplification, that is made within the text, the last one combines adaptation and simplification. The aim of the article is to present the rules of preparing graded reader materials and to discuss the three types of simplification. It explains also the advantages for readers that result from reading texts which actually meet the level of their language proficiency.
